March Hare the Inspiration for Roger Rabbit?

I'm a huge Who Framed Roger Rabbit fan, and after watching Alice, I can't help but wonder if the creatives for the former took some inspiration for Roger's design from the March Hare. I know that a lot of Roger's design came from Droopy (the hair), Mickey (the gloves), and other classic cartoon stars, but he also bears a strong resemblance to the March Hare in this film. They both have that little tuft of hair between their ears, the bow tie, and the overall zany personality. Anyway, like I said, I know Roger's design came mainly from the "Golden Age of Cartoons"-style characters, but I can't help but think they took some inspiration from this film as well.
